Wimbledon 2026 opened this week with the kind of crowd that reminds London why the tournament still matters beyond tennis. On day one at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Bad Bunny was among the names in the stands with Gabriela Berlingeri as Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Aryna Sabalenka and Naomi Osaka played.
The reason readers are looking now is simple: the first two days have already delivered a celebrity roll call. Romeo Beckham arrived with Kim Turnbull, Niall Horan came with Amelia Woolley and Isla Fisher was also there on day one, while Ladies Amelia and Eliza Spencer and Nicky Hilton were among the day two attendees. That is the draw of Wimbledon every year — elite sport wrapped in a social calendar that pulls in stars from music, fashion and film, with royalty often part of the picture.
Princess Catherine, Prince William and their children are only expected to appear again, not confirmed, which is part of the annual script too. Wimbledon thrives on that mix of certainty and anticipation: the matches are on the schedule, the famous faces are not, and the gap between the two keeps the tournament in the spotlight before the tennis even reaches its second week.
The result is a familiar but still effective opening act. Wimbledon 2026 runs through July 12, and if the first two days are any guide, the stands will keep drawing as much notice as the court. Bad Bunny got there first, and the rest of the celebrity parade has already begun.
